Soft floor, strong scarcity — week ending August 22
Weekly Market Update · published 2026-08-23 by Mr. Deeds · written from this site's recorded sales and live book — deed sales · Koda market · corrections policy.
Otherdeed trading remained thin this week, with ordinary deeds generally selling below Mr. Deeds estimates while scarcer traits continued to attract premiums. Kodas were more active, recording their busiest trading day of August with 17 sales on Friday alone. The important caveat: this is still a low-volume market. A handful of sales can move medians quickly, especially among rare traits and Mega Kodas. Sample sizes are included throughout for that reason.
Otherdeeds: the floor softened, scarcity didn't
The Otherdeed floor stayed near 0.073–0.074 ETH, with roughly 1,370 deeds listed. There were about 46 confirmed ETH sales during the trailing seven days. Overall, those deeds sold for about 89% of their Mr. Deeds estimates before normalizing for the date of sale.
That doesn't necessarily mean the entire model is running high. The more interesting result is what happened when the sales are separated by the type of land being sold. Ordinary, floor-level deeds sold for roughly 86% of estimate. Scarcer deeds behaved differently:
- Tier 5 environments: about 123% of estimate (4 sales)
- Artifact deeds: about 115% of estimate (9 sales)
- Rare-resource deeds: also generally above estimate, although there were too few sales to draw a strong conclusion
That's the clearest signal from this week's data. Buyers were willing to negotiate hard on interchangeable, floor-level land while continuing to pay more for traits with genuinely limited supply. One thin week doesn't establish a new market trend. But it is a pattern worth watching — the listings-vs-model ranking shows where today's book sits against those same estimates.
One reason last-sale prices can be misleading
About half of August's recorded Otherdeed sales have come from owners accepting WETH offers, rather than buyers purchasing listed asks. Those transactions generally clear lower. So two otherwise comparable deeds can show very different last-sale prices simply because one seller accepted an outstanding bid while another buyer paid the asking price. Mr. Deeds labels both transaction types in the sales history so they can be evaluated separately.
Kodas: the busiest day of August
Koda activity picked up considerably. There were 30 Koda sales during the week, including 17 on Friday, August 21 — the busiest single day recorded this month. The difference between buyers taking listings and sellers accepting offers remained visible:
- Listed ETH sales: 19 sales · median 0.698 ETH
- Accepted WETH offers: 11 sales · median 0.612 ETH
Accepted offers therefore cleared about 12% below the median price paid for listed Kodas. The Koda floor currently sits at 0.7275 ETH, with 141 Kodas listed. Because only 8,312 of the 10,000 Kodas are currently tradable, that means only about 1.7% of available Koda supply is listed for sale.
Mega Kodas remain a very thin market
Over the trailing 30 days, Mr. Deeds recorded 128 Koda sales. The largest remains Mega Koda #9920 at 18.01 ETH, sold through an accepted WETH offer on July 30. Mega sales should be interpreted differently from the broader Koda market. There are only 99 Mega Kodas, and just 88 are currently tradable. Individual transactions can therefore have an outsized effect on medians and apparent market direction. For Megas in particular, the underlying sales themselves are usually more informative than a single summary statistic.
Koda supply changed this week
The site's collection sync identified 61 Kodas that had detached from their original deeds since early August and updated the corresponding deed records. The larger supply picture now stands at: 10,000 total Kodas · 8,312 standalone and tradable · 1,688 still locked inside unmigrated Otherdeeds (how locking works). Every future migration moves another Koda from locked supply into standalone supply — including 11 of the 99 Mega Kodas that remain attached to their original deeds. For ordinary Kodas, an individual migration barely changes the market. For a group as small as the Megas, each release is a meaningful addition to available supply.
The takeaway
This week's Otherdeed market wasn't uniformly strong or weak. The floor was soft, and ordinary land often changed hands below model estimates. But buyers continued to pay premiums for several of the collection's scarcer characteristics. Meanwhile, Koda trading accelerated, with a clear price difference between listed purchases and accepted offers and only a small percentage of tradable supply currently listed. Neither market has enough weekly volume to treat these observations as established trends. But they give us something useful to watch: whether the market continues separating common supply from scarce supply — and whether that gap widens as Otherside's resource economy gets closer.
